This year’s Main Slate showcases 25 award-winning films presented to New York audiences for the first time. Among them you will find films by some of the most prominent Latino filmmakers.
By Alex Guerrero.
Selections from Cannes include Ken Loach’s Palme d’Or-winning I, Daniel Blake; Olivier Assayas’s Personal Shopper and Cristian Mungiu’s Graduation, which tied for Best Director; and Maren Ade’s highly acclaimed Toni Erdmann, awarded the Cannes Critics’ Prize. From Berlin, Gianfranco Rosi’s Golden Bear winner, Fire at Sea, will mark the director’s NYFF debut, and Mia Hansen-Løve returns to the festival with Things to Come, which won her Berlin’s Best Director award.
Other festival veterans returning to NYFF include Pedro Almodóvar, Kelly Reichardt, Hong Sangsoo, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, Matías Piñeiro, Paul Verhoeven, Alain Guiraudie, Cristi Puiu, and Eugène Green. A number of celebrated filmmakers will make their NYFF debuts, such as Kenneth Lonergan with his third feature Manchester by the Sea; Kleber Mendonça Filho, presenting Aquarius, his anticipated follow-up to Neighboring Sounds; Alison Maclean with her coming-of-age story The Rehearsal; Dash Shaw, whose animated My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea is his first feature; and Barry Jenkins, with his three-part portrait of a young gay African-American man, Moonlight.
Strong female performances are a prominent focus this year, with standout turns from Isabelle Huppert in Verhoeven’s Elle and Hansen-Løve’s Things to Come; Brazilian legend Sônia Braga in Mendonça Filho’s Aquarius; Piñeiro favorite Agustina Muñoz in Hermia and Helena; and Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams, and Laura Dern in Reichardt’s triptych Certain Women, among others. The Main Slate also features two films that bring poetry to the screen: Pablo Larraín’s Neruda, a portrait of the beloved Chilean poet, and Jim Jarmusch’s Paterson, which carries the spirit of William Carlos Williams through the story of a city bus driver (Adam Driver) who also writes poetry.
The New York Film Festival takes place from September 30 to October 16. More info at filmlinc.org or @TheNYFF.

La odisea de Robert Redford en All is Lost es tan personal como la batalla (imposible de ganar?) de un navegante expuesto a la furia de los elementos totalmente desprotegido, o como una metáfora de la decadencia de la sociedad Occidental y la transferencia de poder del Oeste al Este.

Un fuerte candidato para el Oscar, en este video Robert Redford nos habla de lo que le atrajo al rol y sobre la confianza que le inspiró el director J.C Chandor. ( En Inglés). Pueden también visitar TespisTV para verlo > REDFORD.

Hoy quiero compartir el listado de las 10 películas que más me impactaron del recién finalizado New York Film Festival. Ya las he publicado en tuiter y también he publicado notas y videos de algunas de ellas pero ahora con la carrera al Oscar en desarrollo, varias de ellas son fuertes candidatas.

| Steve McQueen. Photo by Alex Guerrero®2013 |
Aqui no incluyo Gravity y otras, claro está. La que será una de las favoritas es 12 Years a Slave (foto arriba). Por donde la veas es magnífica. Te agarra intensamente y no te suelta. Otra que no te suelta es la chilena Gloria con la carismática actuación de Paulina García (foto abajo) y, Nebraska, llena de humor, nostalgia y auto-criticismo, lo que la hace también muy personal, la relación padre-hijo.

Aunque no vaya al Oscar, la película china A Touch of Sin es indispensable. Verla nos adentra un poco en lo que hierve en el campo, en las ciudades, en las fábricas,... en la sociedad china. Cuando el rio suena es que piedras trae.

Todo el mundo está hablando de Blue Is the Warmest Color (foto debajo) por sus elocuentes y cargadas escenas de sexo entre dos chicas. La verdad sea dicha, las escenas son increiblemente cercanas, personales y esteticamente hermosas.

Pero Blue va mucho más allá. Esa misma cercanía y belleza la encuentras en toda la película, el estudio de los rostros, la piel, las emociones, las miradas, la dicha y la desdicha. Un encuentro cercano con la capacidad de amar, de ser reciprocado. O no.
Así, tenemos:
* Nebraska (Oscar buzz ). Subiré un video pronto con director Alexander Payne.
* A Touch of Sin. En teatros.
Además. Más adelante.
* Her.
* The Immigrant
* Child of God
* Only Lovers Left Alive.

El director chileno Sebastián Lelio (foto, con Paulina García) nos conversó un poco sobre su nueva película, GLORIA, selección oficial del 51 New York Film Festival y nominada de Chile a los Premios Oscar. La historia de una mujer 'de cierta edad' que busca afirmar su derecho a vivir, ser ella misma y ser amada en una sociedad no muy proclive a aceptarlas. Gloria es magníficamente actuada por Paulina García, en un papel que ya tiene ecos de Oscar. En este video, Sebastían Lelio nos habla de sus motivaciones con Gloria y el paralelismo que ve con la realidad y el momento histórico chileno. (En Inglés). Una de las mejores cintas del NY Film Festival. Vean el video debajo o sigan enlace > LELIO

'A moment like I 've never had making films' is how Tom Hanks described to us his experience on filming a particular scene as Captain Phillips, the latest movie by director Paul Greengrass. The scene happens at the end of the movie after Captain Phillips is rescue and is taken to the infirmary. What follows is the opportunity for Hanks to show what he is made of. And he does.
During the Q&A that followed the screening of the movie to the world press at the 51st New York Film Festival (NYFF51), Tom Hanks talks about this moment and about acting. See the video below or follow the link > Tom Hanks.
Enjoy!

About Gloria and Club Sandwich:
* Gloria, de Sebastián Lelio 2013
Chile/Spain | Spanish with English subtitles | 110 minutes
Director Sebastian Lélio and star Paulina García in person for Q&A at both screenings!. October 6,7.
Gloria (Paulina García) is an attractive middle-aged woman who lives alone, sees her children infrequently, and seems to be quietly preparing herself for the infirmities and the loneliness of old age. She goes to dance clubs but maintains a polite remove from all men. Until she meets Rodolfo (Sergio Hernandez), a sweet gentleman with whom she decides to take the plunge into romance. Director Sebastián Lelio, co-writer Gonzalo Maza and the wonderful García build their title character and her world one sharp insight and on-the-mark detail and situation at a time. It’s difficult to remember another film as refreshingly frank about sexual desire felt by people of Gloria’s and Rodolfo’s respective ages, or as attentive to the painful dilemma of giving up old habits to make room for a new companion. From its melancholy opening scenes to its believably triumphant ending, this wise, funny movie doesn’t strike a single false note. A Roadside Attraction release.
In his latest low-key, slow-burn comedy Fernando Eimbcke ventures into the fraught territory of puberty and separation anxiety, as he focuses on a teenage boy taking his first tentative (and furtive) steps into the uncharted waters of sex. Listless 15-year-old Héctor (Lucio Gimenez Cacho Goded) is on vacation with his thirtysomething single mother Paloma (Maria Renée Prudencia). Mother and son have the deserted off-season resort hotel to themselves until a couple arrive with their 16-year-old daughter, Jazmin (Danae Reynaud Romero). Jazmin sets her sights on Hector, but Mom has a way of interrupting them whenever things get interesting. The director’s deadpan comic style is grounded in a deliciously awkward use of silence and the unspoken, punctuated by occasional exchanges about nothing in particular. In Club Sandwich, Eimbcke uses his precise timing and composition to demonstrate that less can still sometimes be more.

Richard Peña nos presenta un Cine Latino rico, variado y en vigorosa expansión en la edición 50 del Festival de Cine de Nueva York. Ese vigor que se siente y se ve en cada película nos habla de una nueva 'confidence' de los creadores latinos que los hace más audaces, a explorar más el medio y a cimentar una presencia cada día más reconocida a nivel mundial.
Ya he visto varias de las películas latinas ( me falta NO, El muerto y ser feliz y A Última Vez Que Vi Macau ) asi que sin mucho pre-ambulo, les invito a que vean al menos una si están en Nueva York. Varias de estas películas ya tienen distribuidor y las tendremos en cartelera en un futuro cercano.
Las películas latinas van desde la deliciosa comedia Camille redouble al gran subrealismo de La noche de enfrente, la última obra de Raúl Ruíz. En temas veremos desde la historia de un inmigrante que regresa a México desde Nueva York en Aquí y Allá a una magnífica inmersión en lo que fueron los años después de Mayo de 1968 en Après Mai.
ABOUT THE FILMS
* NIGHT ACROSS THE STREET (La Noche de enfrente) (2012) 107min
Director: Raul Ruiz
Country: France/Chile
October 7.
In August 2011, the cinema sadly lost one of its most magical artists, director Raul Ruiz—but, happily, not before he left us with one final masterpiece. Returning to his native Chile, Ruiz introduces us here to Don Celso, a bespectacled office worker heading into retirement.
After an evening’s poetry class, Celso starts to narrate several tales from his childhood to his teacher, guiding the audience both within and outside the film through various levels of reality that mix the private and the public, the historical and the mythic, the here and the beyond. The journey is, of course, full of Ruizian flights of visual and verbal wit, where resonances between words and images form connections that at times defy traditional storytelling. NIGHT ACROSS THE STREET is both a moving meditation on one man’s mortality as well as an insightful summation of an artist’s brilliant career. A Cinema Guild release. Ruiz will also have his work presented during NYFF’s soon-to-be-announced Views From the Avant-Garde schedule.
* NO (2012) 110min
Director: Pablo Larrain
Country: Chile/USA/Mexico
October 12, 13.
In 1988, in an effort to extend and legitimize its rule, the Pinochet military junta announced it would hold a plebiscite to get the people’s permission to stay in power. Despite being given 15 minutes a day to plead its case on television, the anti-Pinochet opposition was divided and without a clear message.
Enter Rene Saavedra (an excellent Gael Garcia Bernal), an ad man who, after a career pushing soft drinks and soap, sets out to sell Chileans on democracy and freedom. Winner of the top prize in this year’s Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, NO is little short of a miracle: shooting on U-matic video tape to give the film the look of the Eighties, filmmaker Pablo Larrain (TONY MANERO, POST MORTEM) has created a smart, funny and totally engrossing political thriller with a powerful resonance for our times.
* THE DEAD MAN AND BEING HAPPY (El muerto y ser feliz) (2012) 94min
Director: Javier Rebello
Country: Spain/Argentina
October 11, 14.
For his third feature, the gifted Spanish director Javier Rebollo (WOMAN WITHOUT PIANO) has decamped to Argentina and created a literate, screwball road movie that Borges surely would have loved. The “dead man” of the title is Santos (veteran Spanish screen star José Sacristán), a cancer-stricken hired killer who flees his Buenos Aires hospital bed and sets off on one last assignment.
It is a journey that takes him through an interior Argentina rarely glimpsed in movies, from the Cordoba resort town of La Cumbrecita (with its disproportionate—and disconcerting—population of elderly Germans) to the northern province of Santiago del Estero. Along the way, Santos finds himself joined by Alejandra (the wonderful Roxana Blanco), an attractive middle-aged woman who impulsively jumps into his vintage Ford Falcon at a gas station and soon thwarts him from his intended path. At one point, our curious couple stops off at a decrepit beach town described by one of the film’s dueling voice-over narrators as “a strange mix of paradise and apocalypse”—which, as it happens, also perfectly sums up Rebollo’s playful and unexpectedly moving reverie on love, death and the open highway.
* HERE AND THERE (Aquí y Allá) (2012) 110min
Director: Antonio Mendez Esparza
Country: Spain/USA/Mexico
October 2, 10.

* HERE AND THERE (Aquí y Allá) (2012) 110min
Director: Antonio Mendez Esparza
Country: Spain/USA/Mexico
October 2, 10.
Pedro returns home to a small mountain village in Guerrero, Mexico after years of working in the U.S. His daughters feel more distant that he imagined, but his wife Teresa is delighted he’s back.
With the money he’s earned he can create a better life for his family, and maybe even start the band with his cousins he’s dreamed about for years. But work back home remains scarce, and the temptation of heading back north of the border remains as strong as ever. Antonio Mendez Esparza has made a most remarkable debut; rarely, if ever, has a film about US/Mexican border experience felt so fresh or authentic. Using non-professionals, Mendez Esparza gets remarkably nuanced performances that gives a richness of nuance and detail to each of his characters that goes way beyond cliché and stereotype. Winner of the Grand Prize at this year’s Critics Week in Cannes.
* THE LAST TIME I SAW MACAO (A Última Vez Que Vi Macau) (2012) 82min
Director: João Pedro Rodrigues
Country: Portugal/France
October 12, 13.
With the money he’s earned he can create a better life for his family, and maybe even start the band with his cousins he’s dreamed about for years. But work back home remains scarce, and the temptation of heading back north of the border remains as strong as ever. Antonio Mendez Esparza has made a most remarkable debut; rarely, if ever, has a film about US/Mexican border experience felt so fresh or authentic. Using non-professionals, Mendez Esparza gets remarkably nuanced performances that gives a richness of nuance and detail to each of his characters that goes way beyond cliché and stereotype. Winner of the Grand Prize at this year’s Critics Week in Cannes.
* THE LAST TIME I SAW MACAO (A Última Vez Que Vi Macau) (2012) 82min
Director: João Pedro Rodrigues
Country: Portugal/France
October 12, 13.
This stunning amalgam of playful film noir and Chris Marker–like cine-essay from João Pedro Rodrigues (TO DIE LIKE A MAN, NYFF 2009) and João Rui Guerra da Mata explores the psychic pull of the titular former Portuguese colony.
After a spectacular opening scene, in which actress Cindy Scrash lip-synchs, as tigers pace behind her, to Jane Russell’s “You Kill Me”—from Josef von Sternberg’s MACAO (1952), a key reference here—the film shifts to da Mata’s off-screen recollections of growing up in this gambling haven in the South China Sea. He’s come back to Macao to help a friend who later vanishes—a mystery that begets not only poetic ruminations on time, place, and memory but also magnificent compositions of flora, fauna, and cityscapes. Rodrigues will also have his work presented during NYFF’s soon-to-be-announced Views From the Avant-Garde schedule.
* TABU (2012) 118min
Director: Miguel Gomes
Country: Portugal
October 10, 14.
The ghosts of F.W. Murnau, Luis Buñuel, Joseph Cornell and Jack Smith hover above Miguel Gomes’s third feature—an exquisite, absurdist entry in the canon of surrealist cinema.
Shot in ephemeral black-and-white celluloid, TABU is movie-as-dream—an evocation of irrational desires, extravagant coincidences, and cheesy nostalgia that nevertheless is grounded in serious feeling and beliefs, even anti-colonialist politics. There is a story, which is delightful to follow and in which the cart comes before the horse: the first half is set in contemporary Lisbon, the second, involving two of the same characters, in a Portuguese colony in the early 1960s. “Be My Baby” belted in Portuguese, a wandering crocodile, and a passionate, ill-advised coupling seen through gently moving mosquito netting make for addled movie magic. The winner of the Alfred Bauer Prize (for a work of particular innovation) and FIPRESCI (International Film Critics) award at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.

* CAMILLE REWINDS (Camille redouble) (2012) 110min
Director: Noémie Lvovsky
Country: France
October 2, 10.
Director: Noémie Lvovsky
Country: France
October 2, 10.
Noémie Lvovsky’s ebullient twist on the comedy of remarriage transposes Frances Ford Coppola’s PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED to present day France, which means that when the titular Camille—who’s in the throes of divorcing her husband of 25 years—passes out drunk, she wakes up as a high school senior in the mid-1980s (leg warmers, “Walking on Sunshine” on the turntable, and no cell phones in sight.)
Lvovsky is hilarious and touchingly vulnerable as Camille. Hard as she tries to avoid the classmate (Samir Guesmi) who she knows will become her first love, her husband, and the father of her daughter, and who will ditch her after she turns 40, she nevertheless winds up in his arms. Her double take, just before their lips meet for a first kiss the second time around, is indescribably delicious. In the tiny role of a watchmaker who may have set Camille’s time travel in motion, New Wave icon Jean-Pierre Léaud is perfect.
* LINES OF WELLINGTON (Linhas de Wellington) (2012) 151min
Director: Valeria Sarmiento
Country: France/Portugal
October 8, 9.

* LINES OF WELLINGTON (Linhas de Wellington) (2012) 151min
Director: Valeria Sarmiento
Country: France/Portugal
October 8, 9.
After conquering Spain, Napoleon Bonaparte sent a powerful army to invade Portugal in 1810. The French plowed through the resistance mounted against them until, as they approached Lisbon, they were met by a combined British and Portuguese army under the command of the Viscount Wellington. That’s the general historical outline for Valeria Sarmiento’s extraordinarily intimate epic of the Peninsular War. Along the way, we witness love affairs and treachery, noble action and selfish cruelty, from the highest social echelons to the most humble quarters. Prepared by the late Raul Ruiz from a screenplay by Carlos Saboga (Mysteries of Lisbon), LINES OF WELLINGTON was completed by Sarmiento—Ruiz’s longtime editor as well as his widow—who has created a revealing portrait of life during what has been called one of the first examples of “total war.” The all-star cast includes Catherine Deneuve, Mathieu Amalric, Elsa Zylberstein, Marisa Paredes, and John Malkovich as Wellington.
* OUR CHILDREN (À perdre la raison) (2012) 111min

* OUR CHILDREN (À perdre la raison) (2012) 111min
Director: Joachim Lafosse
Country: Belgium
October 12, 13.
How does it happen that a vibrant, capable young woman loses her sense of self-worth and ends up destroying what she most loves? Belgian director Joachim Lafosse structures an all too familiar contemporary story that was headline news in Europe as a classical tragedy. Émilie Dequenne more than fulfills the promise of her award-winning performance in the Dardenne brothers’ Rosetta with this portrait of a young school teacher who marries a Moroccan immigrant (Tahar Rahim) and has four children with him, while gradually becoming aware of how much he is in thrall to his mentor, a domineering doctor (Niels Arestrup). Rahim and Arestrup reprise their father/son relationship from Jacques Audiard’s A Prophet but with an even more corrupt twist. Lafosse’s direction of this perverse narrative of patriarchal power and female oppression is like steel wrapped in silk.
* SOMETHING IN THE AIR (Après Mai) (2012) 122min
Director: Olivier Assayas
Country: France
October 5, 8, 12.
In the months after the heady weeks of May ’68, a group of young people search for a way to continue the revolution believed to be just beginning.
For Gilles (newcomer Clément Mettayer), this means having to balance his political commitments with his desire to explore painting and filmmaking; for his girlfriend Christine (GOODBYE, FIRST LOVE star Lola Créton), this means throwing herself wholeheartedly into the task of organizing. Olivier Assayas (CARLOS, SUMMER HOURS) here describes the sentimental education of a generation that was too young to have been on the barricades; he brilliantly captures its explorations of new lifestyles, the arguments about strategies and tactics, and above all its music, a constant presence that becomes something like the artistic unconscious of an era. The period details are perfect, but what makes this film so special is the sense it conveys of history as lived experience.
* YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET (Vous n'avez encore rien vu) (2012) 115min
Director: Alain Resnais
Country: France
October 2, 3, 9.
From its impish title to its vibrant formal experimentation, YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET proves that, at age 90, master French filmmaker Alain Resnais (HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR, WILD GRASS) is indeed still full of surprises. Based on two works by the playwright Jean Anouilh, the film opens with a who’s-who of French acting royalty (including Mathieu Amalric, Michel Piccoli and frequent Resnais muse Sabine Azéma) being summoned to the reading of a late playwright’s last will and testament. Upon their arrival, the playwright (Denis Podalydès) appears on a TV screen from beyond the grave and asks his erstwhile collaborators to evaluate a recording of an experimental theater company performing his Eurydice—a play they themselves all appeared in over the years. But as the video unspools, something curious happens: instead of watching passively, these seasoned thespians begin acting out the text alongside their youthful avatars, looking back into the past rather like mythic Orpheus himself. Gorgeously shot by cinematographer Eric Gautier on stylized sets that recall the French poetic realism of the 1930s, YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET is an alternately wry and wistful valentine to actors and the art of performance from a director long fascinated by the intersection of life, theater and cinema.
* LIFE OF PI (2012)
Director: Ang Lee
Country: USA
Opening Night selection. In theaters soon.
Based on the book that has sold more than seven million copies and spent years on the bestseller list, Academy Award winner Lee's LIFE OF PI takes place over three continents, two oceans, many years, and a wide world of imagination.
Lee’s vision, coupled with game-changing technological breakthroughs, has turned a story long thought un-filmable into a totally original cinematic event and the first truly international all-audience motion picture. LIFE OF PI follows a young man who survives a disaster at sea and is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While marooned on a lifeboat, he forms an amazing and unexpected connection with the ship¹s only other survivor…a fearsome Bengal tiger.

Anniversaries highlight events central to what we are. My Mom celebrating her 70th year of life with me here in New York or reaching 40 like close friends of mine did recently or reaching 100 thousand video views on your Youtube Channel ( TespisTV did it last week!). Milestones. New York and the Lincoln Center are celebrating another milestone as well: the 50th edition of the New York Film Festival. Big achievement for the second oldest film festival in North America and one of the top 5 worldwide. A big Bravo! to Richard Peña, Selection Committee Chair & Program Director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center, who after 25 years of dedication is leaving his post (He will keep working at Lincoln Center on an Education Initiative).
As in previous years, the festival brings to town some of the best filmmaking coming out from established and novel cineastas worldwide: Olivier Assayas, Noah Baumbach, Leos Carax, Brian De Palma, Michael Haneke, Abbas Kiarostami, Ang Lee, Cristian Mungiu, Sally Potter, Alain Resnais, Raul Ruiz and Robert Zemeckis.
Richard Peña, speaking about the 32 films participating in this year's festival, says: “The films making up the main slate of this year's NYFF, have in common a general quality of fearlessness" that unites otherwise very disparate works. These are films that go all the way, works willing to take the risk or chance that by doing so they may be bringing audiences to places they might rather not go.”
Latino filmmakers have a prominent role this year with several offerings from Europe, Latin America and the US with a special presence of the late Raúl Ruíz with La noche de enfrente, his last film and Lines of Wellington, film that was finally directed by Valeria Sarmiento after his pasing. Other Latino films include: Tabu, Aquí y Allá, NO, El muerto y ser feliz, The last time I saw Macau, Something in the Air. We will publish more information on these films in upcoming posts.
BASIC INFO : 50th NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL.
Award winners will be presented for the first time for New York audiences including: the universally acclaimed winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, AMOUR, Michael Haneke’s portrait of a couple dealing with the ravages of old age, with Haneke returning to NYFF following the presentation of THE WHITE RIBBON in 2009; Christian Petzold’s Cold War thriller, BARBARA, a winner of the SIlver Bear for Best Director at this year’s Berlin Film Festival; Cristian Mungiu’s BEYOND THE HILLS, a portrait of dogma at odds with personal liberty in a society still emerging from the shadow of Communism, featuring screen newcomers Flutur and Stratan who shared the Best Actress prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where Mungiu also received the Best Screenplay award. The presentation will also mark a return to the film festival by Mungiu (4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS, NYFF 2007).
Two debut features include Antonio Mendez Esparza’s film about the US/Mexican border experience, HERE AND THERE, the winner of the Grand Prize at this year’s Critics Week in Cannes, and Song Fang’s film about a woman that travels from Beijing to Nanjing for a visit with her family, MEMORIES LOOK AT ME, the winner of the Best First Feature prize at this year’s Locarno Film Festival. Pablo Larrain’s engrossing political thriller NO, starring Gael Garcia Bernal, was the winner of the top prize in this year’s Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, and Miguel Gomes’s surrealist drama TABU was the winner of the Alfred Bauer Prize (for a work of particular innovation) and FIPRESCI (International Film Critics) award at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.
Additional returning NYFF filmmakers are; João Pedro Rodrigues (TO DIE LIKE A MAN, NYFF 2009) with THE LAST TIME I SAW MACAO; Olivier Assayas (CARLOS, NYFF 2010), with SOMETHING IN THE AIR; Lucien Castaing-Taylor (SWEETGRASS, NYFF 2009) and Véréna Paravel (FOREIGN PARTS, NYFF 2010), with LEVIATHAN; Abbas Kiarostami (CERTIFIED COPY, NYFF 2010), with LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE; and the 90-year-old Alain Resnais, whose MURIEL, OR THE TIME OF RETURN screened at the very first New York Film Festival, returns with YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHING YET.
A quartet of World Premieres among the main slate lineup include Alan Berliner’s unflinching essay on the fragility of being human, FIRST COUSIN ONCE REMOVED, joining the previously announced Opening Night, Centerpiece and Closing Night Gala trio of Ang Lee’s LIFE OF PI, David Chase’s NOT FADE AWAY and Robert Zemeckis’s FLIGHT.
Founded in 1963, the New York Film Festival is North America’s second oldest film festival, launching just as the auteur theory and European cinematic modernism were crashing upon the shores of American film culture. 50 years later, NYFF continues to introduce audiences to the most exciting, innovative and accomplished works of world cinema.
Additional programming to complement the main-slate of films includes NYFF’s Masterworks programs and Views from the Avant-Garde, which will include additional works by Main Slate filmmakers João Pedro Rodrigues and Raul Ruiz.

CHICO & RITA is an epic story of love, passion, and heartbreak. Cuba, 1948. Chico is a young piano player with big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an extraordinary voice. Music and desire unite them as they chase their dreams and each other from Havana to New York to Paris, Hollywood and Las Vegas.

It is also meant to honor some of the cinema’s present-day combatants (Frank Pineda, Florence Jaugey, John Gianvito, Laura Waddington, Florent Marcie, Edouard Beau, Olivier Dury, Paul Cronin…) who are renewing these ideals in different political contexts. “Within oneself, there are also the others” (Jean-Luc Godard, 1997).

Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his
father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial
strains, Armando's younger brother Raúl (Diego Luna) shows up with his
new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodríguez) and pledges to settle all his
father's debt. It seems that Raul's success as an international
businessman means the ranch's troubles are over, but when Armando falls
for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit,
the Alvarez family finds themselves in a full-out war with Mexico's most
feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael García Bernal).

* Miss Bala. De Gerardo Naranjo. México >> En Cartelera > The Angelika.
Esta no es una película con una visión
romántica de México ni mucho menos una oda al narcoterrorismo. Al
contrario, como lo expresa Gerardo Naranjo en el video que pueden ver
debajo, MISS BALA busca presentar de manera más fidedigna lo que está
sucediendo en en país vecino en donde la violencia desatada sobre
ciudadanos indefensos aumenta cada día, ante la incapacidad (o
complicidad) del Estado para protegerlos.
Con largas tomas y sólidas actuaciones,
MISS BALA nos introduce a este mundo sórdido desde el punto de vista de
una jóven, Stephanie Sigman, con sueños de reina de belleza.
* The Artist. De Michel Hazanavici
Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break.
* NEON FLESH. De Pablo Cabezas. España > En Cartelera.
Full of style and wild humor, NEON FLESH is a high-energy crime thriller centered around Ricky and the underground world that he lives in. His prostitute mother, Pura, abandoned him when he was 12. Now a young man, he wants to honor her by opening up a brothel when she is released from prison. For help he enlists a pimp, his junkie girlfriend, and a transsexual who believes that she's royalty, but when he finally picks Mom up from the hospital, he's disappointed to learn that she's underwhelmed with his gift. Worse, the location Ricky chose for the brothel encroaches on ruthless thug El Chino's domain.

Poetry, politics, madness and desire collide in the story of the woman hailed as South Africa's Sylvia Plath. In 1960s Cape Town, as Apartheid steals the expressive rights of blacks and whites alike, young Ingrid Jonker (Carice van Houten, “A Game of Thrones”) finds her freedom scrawling verse while frittering through a series of stormy affairs. Amid escalating quarrels with her lovers and her rigid father, a parliament censorship minister (Rutger Hauer), the poet witnesses an unconscionable event that will alter the course of both her artistic and personal lives.

* DETACHMENT. Directed by
Tony Kaye (AMERICAN HISTORY X) >> Out March 16 in NYC > March 23 Los Angeles.
The long-awaited film DETACHMENT stars
Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody as Henry Barthes, a substitute
teacher who conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never
staying anywhere long enough to form a bond with either his students or
colleagues. A lost soul grappling with a troubled past, Henry finds
himself at a public school where an apathetic student body has created a
frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role
model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is
just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he’s not alone in a life and
death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless
world.
Kaye
has molded a contemporary vision of people who become increasingly
distant from others while still feeling the need to connect. DETACHMENT
features a stellar ensemble cast, including Academy Award® winner Marcia
Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, William Petersen, Bryan Cranston, Tim
Blake Nelson, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, James Caan, and newcomers Sami
Gayle and Betty Kaye.
